The Artist

I know that you're an artist,but you're the hardest one to deal with.Everything that you concealis revealed on your canvas.You find all of your ugly meaningsin all of the things I find beautiful.Do you see the fall is coming?Come, I'm falling into you.You perceive all of these thingsI'd never have known.Love, will you turn off the lights?we're already home.You painted me in pastel,colors that don't tell of any boldness.That's the way you'd love to see me:so delicate, so weak, so little purpose.But your eyes are drawn of charcoalthey're black, they're so cold, they're so imperfect.Because they see a sleeping world,where waking isn't worth it.You perceive all of these thingsthat I'd never have known.Love, will you turn off the lights?
